INTRODUCTION
VDSPro Diagnostic Software consists of a suite of programs allowing you to communicate with and analyze diagnostic information from the Volkswagen, Audi, Seat or Skoda automobiles from the 1988 096/097 automatic transmission controllers through the ME7.X engine controllers used in 2000 later model vehicles, as well as a variety of other chassis, body and convenience feature computers. VWTool.exe - This is the diagnostic program that communicates with the cars electronic system controllers. DataView.exe - Software that allows you to view, analyze and print the captured data block information files from VWTool file that contains the saved block data from VWTool.exe. ConfigVW.exe - Select the communications port and display units. The package includes ! 1 3.5" diskette containing: VDS-PRO Diagnostic Software version 2.09 DATAVIEW Analysis Software CONFIGVW Port Selection Software ! Electronic Interface Cable (RS232 to ISO) ! Adapter for 1988-93 VW and Audis ! Adapter for 1994-98 VW and Audis (OBD II) ! this Software Users Manual System Requirements ! IBM compatible 486/33 or better processor ! Windows 3.1, 3.11 or Windows 95/98/NT (100Mhz minimum CPU necessary) ! 4 Meg. Ram ! 1 Serial Port

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Start Windows (version 3.11, 95 or 98) Insert the VDSPro Installation disk into drive A From the Program Manager, choose Run from the File Menu Type a:\Setup and press Enter

The Setup program will decompress and copy all files to the directory you have selected. These include certain DLL files needed by Windows to run the programs. If these files are already present on your machine then you will be prompted that they may be in use. Follow the on screen prompts to finish loading the program. The Setup Program will then run the ConfigVW program. The ConfigVW program will allow you to select the serial communications port to use and whether to display the speed and temperature in English or Metric units. The Setup program will then create a Program group called VWTool and install three icons for the programs. Common Installation Problems The most common installation problem is serial port interrupt conflicts. On an IBM PC com1 and com3 share an interrupt, com2 and com4 share another interrupt. This means that if you use com1 for the OBDII interface and there is any serial device on com3, the software will not work due to the serial device on com3 stealing the interrupt. Remove the serial device on com3 to correct the problem. Laptop users, beware of Infrared Ports on some newer laptops. This port can be mapped over one of the serial ports or may be set to poll all interupts. This can cause interrupt conflicts and loss of communications by the software. The address and interrupt used by the infrared port is set in the BIOS of the laptop. It is best to disable the Infrared port during the use of the VWTool program. Need a longer cable? The white cable included with the VDSPro software is a standard 9 pin serial extension cable, also known as an RS232 DB9 serial cable. These cables can be purchased at most computer stores in variety of lengths. We recommend not exceeding 50 feet as some controllers use very low voltage levels for communications. If longer lengths are needed use only the highest quality cable available.

SAFETY
If you use the VWTool communications software in a laptop for analysis while driving, use a second person to observe the computer screen. At 30 mph a car travels 44 feet/sec. You cannot look at the computer screen, refocus your eyes, read the screen, and refocus your eyes back to driving, in any reasonable length of time. Even a glance will divert to much attention from driving. Use a second person when doing drive tests! There are electrical and mechanical hazards that are unique to each vehicle model type. Consult the factory workshop manuals and all service bulletins for the vehicle you are working on.

SELF DIAGNOSIS OPERATION

All electronic control systems in a car function in similar ways. The sensors supply information to the control unit as to the present operating state of the vehicle. The control unit analyzes this information, applies a control strategy, then adjusts the output elements, to achieve the desired results. The control unit then takes inputs from other sensors to detect weither the adjustment is correct to maintain optimal operation. These sorts of sensors include exhaust Oxygen (O2 or Lambda sensors) and pressure sensors. An example of this type of control system is the engine coolant temperature. The modern day car is required to start and run smoothly under all conditions, cold to hot and idle to full load. The control unit requires information regarding the engine temperature in order to make decisions on how these functions are to be performed. This information is supplied by the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor (G62). The ECT sensor is located so that it is in the constant flow of engine and measures the temperature of the engine. The ECT then sends this engine temperature to the control unit in the form of a voltage level. The control unit then applies the strategy determined by the factory engineers to regulate the proper ignition angle, injection timing, and idle speed stabilization. The controller then adjusts these output control elements. The engine temperature is also used by several other system functions, such as: Knock control system (KS) Lambda control system (Fuel mixture) Fuel tank ventilation system (EVAP) Exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) The Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor which reduces its resistance as the temperature increases. This means that the voltage measured at the controller increases with increasing temperature. The measuring range is -35 0C to 120 0C. This is specified by the software in the controller and any temperature higher or lower is considered as faulty or as an implausible (out of range) reading. The fault is then stored in the fault memory of the controller. This type of fault is known as a Component Malfunction Fault. The controller stores three numbers for each fault it detects. First is the Fault Source which describes the component that was checked. Second is the Fault Type which is information regarding the electrical state at the time of the fault ( Open, Short, High, Low, Etc.). Third is whether the fault is permanent or intermittent. A fault is only stored as permanent if it is present for a specified period of time. If the controller recognizes that the temperature signal is no longer being received, it will substitute a value (e.g. 80 0C), to ensure continued operation and log a fault in the fault memory of the controller. This sort of substitution will cause rough running during the cold start and during the warm-up phase. The Service Tool will interrogate the controller fault memory, read the fault numbers, translate the numbers into text and display the text on the computer screen. Example #1: 00522 Engine Coolant Temperature Sender - G62 Open circuit / Short circuit to positive ( / Intermittent )

now known under OBD-II (includes VAG and SAE code) as 16500 P0116 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit - G62 Range/Performance Problem ( / Intermittent ) This fault is due to the engine coolant input reading 5 volts. This would correspond to a temperature of minus 35 (-35) C.

There are two possible causes: There is an open circuit in the wiring. As a result of the pull- up resistor in the controller, the engine temperature sensor indicates a voltage of 5 volts. A short circuit in the wiring to battery voltage, will also result in a 5 volt reading at the engine temperature controller input.
VDSPro Instruction Manual

ver.2.09

The controller is not able to distinguish between the two possible causes of the fault. The / Intermittent tells you that the fault occurred for brief period of time and is possibly due to a loose connection. Example #2: 00522 Engine Coolant Temperature Sender - G62 Short circuit to earth/ground

now known under OBD-II (includes VAG and SAE code) as 16501 P0117 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input - G62 The voltage of the engine temperature input is 0 volts. This would be a temperature of greater than 1200C. This fault is possibly due to worn insulation in the wiring harness or a defective sender. If the adjustments made by the control unit are insufficient to maintain optimal operation or allow exhaust emissions to exceed standards then a System Malfunction Fault will be stored. Examples of system malfunction faults are found in the; Lambda Control System EVAP Control System Secondary Air System etc... These codes are the result of conditions not being met to maintain proper operation of the engine.

One of the most common System Malfunction Faults is the Oxygen Sensor (Lambda) Control Fault.\ Example #3: 00537 Oxygen Sensor (Lambda) Control

now known under OBD-II (includes VAG and SAE code) as 16554 P0170 Fuel Trim - Malfunction (Bank 1)

This code is stored when the controller detects excessive deviations in the air-fuel mixture (too rich or too lean) for longer than 10 seconds. This is may be caused by faulty O2 sensor, in which case an O2 sensor code is stored as well. Other possible causes are: Fuel tank ran empty Incorrect Fuel Pressure Injector valve defective or coked Engine Temperature Sensor defective Secondary air leak Fuel evaporation control system defective Air Mass Meter defective O2 sensor aging (slow response) Combustion disturbed by mechanical failure (Spark plugs, compression, intake/exhaust valves, ...etc.) Please note, the controller detects faults in input or output circuits. An electrical circuit consists of: wiring harness, connectors, and sensors. To troubleshoot a specific circuit consult the workshop manuals for detailed test instructions and troubleshooting.

Data Display The top four displays contain the data block information read from the car controller. This data has been scaled to real world units ( Example: RPM, Deg C, mS injection time, etc. ). A label describing the measured data will be displayed. If the service tool software does not recognize the measured data, Unscaled will be displayed as the units and the raw data ( 0 - 255 ) will be displayed in the data display. If Unscaled is displayed check the workshop manual to determine what data is being measured for that block number. Graph The Raw Data ( 0 - 255 ) is plotted vertically for each data variable and is color coded to match the Data Display for easy identification. The graph will display 100 samples horizontally before scrolling. The graph is useful for showing trends, spikes, and O2 response time. 17
VDSPro Instruction Manual

ver.2.09

The VWTool software reads a data block 3 to 4 times a second. This is determined by the Electronic Control Unit. The graph represents approximately 30 seconds of data. This information can be continuously recorded to the PC (See Save Data to File Button on page 18) and reviewed using the DATAVIEW software package. Remember, the graph is of the raw data (0 - 255), the data display shows the raw data scaled to real world units. Change to Basic Settings Click this button to go to the basic setting mode. This forces the controller to fixed values used for defaults when a component failes. (Example: The Evaporative purge system Off). Please refer to the workshop manual for more information on the effects the basic setting mode has on the controller. *** Warning! *** The basic setting must only be performed in the operating state recommended for the vehicle. For example, Engine temperature must be above 80 0C. For the recommended state refer to the workshop manual. Changing to Basic Setting when the engine is cold can cause stalling and even damaging knock conditions.. Block Selection The Data Blocks are predetermined by the controller and are different depending on the make, model and system type. It is imperative to have the Factory repair Manuals in order to properly interpret this data. There are three ways to select the block data to monitor. Click the Enter Block Number text box and enter the block number using all 3 digits, then click the Accept button. The software has been set up to allow easy access to the first 7 data blocks by just clicking on the block # button. To access all higher data blocks use the Next button or enter the data block number directly into the Enter Block Number text box. Please refer to the workshop manual to determine what data blocks are available and the diagnostic interpretation and procedures that use the data. Click on one of the Data Block Buttons. The first 7 data blocks are usually General Controller Data. Click on the Next or Previous Buttons to scroll through data blocks. See Appendix C (page 33) for some sample Data Blocks. Save Data to File Button Selecting this button will save the incoming block data to the file Capture.dat. Click this button again to stop saving the data. Note: When you save data to file the previous contents of Capture.dat are lost. Use DataView or DOS to rename Capture.dat file if you want to save the contents. Main Functions Button Clicking this button will return you to the opening Main Functions screen.

Single Readings Function

This function allows you to display an individual data channel. Individual channels that are supported by the controller are listed in the Factory Workshop manual.

To read an individual channel, click on the Channel Number Text Box and enter the desired channel number. Press the Enter key to accept the number. The reading displayed is Unscaled (0 - 255). Click on the Exit Button to exit the Single Reading Function.

Adaptation Function

Refer to the workshop manual on Adaptation before you attempt to use this function. The Adaptation Function allows you to alter the learned correction values into the controller (Examples: Injector Open Time, Idle speed, etc...). Adaption values are altered in three steps: 1. Read Present Value 2. Test New Value 3. Store New Value in Controller Read Present Value - Select the Channel Number Text Box and enter the channel number (2 digits). Press the Enter key to accept the channel number. The VWTool software will interrogate the controller for the present value and any relevant data the controller wants to send. The relevant data (if present) will be displayed in the top four boxes. The present data value will be displayed in the Present Value Box. Test New Value - Click on the New Value Text Box and enter the new value to test (3 digits). Press the Enter key to accept the new value. The VWTool software will send the temporary new value and interrogate the controller. The Present Value display will change to the new value and the relevant data display will reflect how the new value affects the system. Store the New Value in the Controller - If the new value had the expected result, you can make it permanent by clicking the Save Button. If you do not want to save the new value and revert back to the original value, click the Exit Button. If you want to reset ALL adaptation values to the original factory settings, click the Reset All Button.

Code Module Function

*** Warning! *** You must refer to the workshop manual when using this function. The Code Module Function enables you to adapt the operation of the electronic controller to different conditions. Examples: Different engine and transmission combinations. Different fuel qualities. Different emission standards. Country of sale requirements.

Only the workshop manual or the VW/Audi technical site on the Internet will list the proper Coding for a particular model! The tech site is http://tech.vw.com . To change the coding of a control unit, click on the Input Code Number text box and enter the new coding number. Click on the Accept button to change the Coding or the Cancel button to make no change and exit this function. If you click the Accept Button, the service tool will code or recode the control unit and display the Control Unit Information Screen. The software coding box will show the new Coding. Note: On 1996 and later models you must do a successful Login Function before you can code or recode some control units.

Login Function

This function is used on later models (1995/96 up) and allows you to enter a WSC number or a password number (password numbers are contained in the workshop manual). An example of controllers requiring WSC numbers are Engine controllers. Also Instrument cluster reset functions require the use of a Login WSC number. Examples of controllers requiring password numbers are Climatronic A/C controllers and Radios. You must complete a successful Login to change the controller Coding. Note: you get only one chance to enter the correct number. If you enter the wrong number, turn Off the ignition, wait 5 seconds, turn On the ignition, reestablish communications, select the Login Function again and enter the correct Login number. If a controller does not require a Login number it will respond with the Function Not Supported dialog box (page 21).

General Engine Data

This function displays Data Blocks 1-6 at the same time. The General Engine Data display gives an overall view of the present state of the engine. The General Engine Data Function only works on 93 and later Golf IIIs, Jetta IIIs, and 92 up Corrados. The update rate of this display is slower than reading an individual Data Block, but is faster and more convenient than scrolling through all six Data Blocks.

ECU Unknown Function

This warning box appears when the VWTool software tried to perform an illegal function or a function unsupported by the control unit. There are three main reasons why the function cannot be performed. The control unit does not support this function. Example: Mono-Motronic engine controllers and some ABS controllers do not support Block Data functions or data block funtions other than 000. The Function cannot be performed at this time. Example: The engine is running and you try the Test Outputs Function. (Engine NOT running and ignition ON, is the proper mode for the Test Outputs Function.) You entered an improper number. Example: Data Block #999, Individual Reading Channel #999. Check the workshop manual for the proper procedure and / or functions available for a particular model. 21

Reestablish Communications Alert

This Alert Box will appear if the VWTool software has lost communications with the controller. The software will make three attempts to reestablish the communication link and continue with the present function. If you receive frequent Reestablish Communication Alerts, Please check the following possible causes. Check all connections on the interface cable. Check that the vehicle voltage is at least 10.0 volts. Check that the cable is not near - spark plug wires, ignition coil, electric motors, or fluorescent lights. If you are using a IBM serial extension cable with the VDSPro interface, it should be less than 100 feet and of the highest quality possible. Maximum allowable resistance in the cable is 12ohms over the entire length.

APPENDIX A
Troubleshooting VDSPRO Installation Problems:
Q: The error message Cannot access A:\XXXXX.DLL because destination file is already in use. appears and when I click on OK the installation process halts. Whats wrong? A: This most often occurs when running the Windows 98 SE operating system. The error message means that Windows is currently utilizing one of the Run Time Libraries needed by Visual Basic applications. To successfully install, shut down Windows and restart in Safe mode. To enter Safe mode press and hold the CTRL key after the Bios status screen (most computers issue a beep sound after the bios status message). Then just continue installing the software.

Q: After installing the new version of VDSPro I still get the old version when I start the program. Whats wrong? A: Delete all the programs in the VWTOOL directory then reinstall the software.

Running Problems
Q: I cant get the program to communicate with the car. A: Here are some things to check. 1) Check that the car is equipped with on board diagnostics (OBD) or OBD-II. This can be determined by the presence of a CHECK ENGINE, MIL or SERVICE ENGINE light display on the dash. Cars without this feature do not have VW/Audi OBD or OBD-II. For OBD-II vehicles verify the presence of the J1962 (16-pin) OBD-II socket in under the dash, along the centerline of the car or in the dash. Confirm the presence of pin #7 and pin #15. Note: After 1995 not all vehicles require pin #15, but all must have pin #7.

2) Next, verify the presence of a COM port on your computer. COM or serial ports are 9 or 25 pin male connectors. Printer ports are 25 pin female connectors. Printer ports cannot serve as serial ports. The 9 pin connector on the computer is traditionally specified as serial port COM1, built-in Modems are traditionally designated serial port COM2. Infrared serial ports should be disabled. 3) Check for other COM port devices. These devices can include: MODEM or FAX/MODEM MOUSE NETWORK CARD GPS CARD 4) Verify the serial port COM specification is available to software. Windows 3.1 or 3.11 - Choose the MAIN program group. Double click on the MS-DOS PROMPT icon. Type MSD and press ENTER. This will start the Microsoft Diagnostic Software. After analyzing your system, the program will inform you that Windows is currently running. Choose OK. The program will then display a screen which will show the system components. Look for COM Ports on the right hand column of the screen. It should show at least 1 COM port. Press the C key and the COM Port information will be displayed. The address of the COM ports should correspond to the following chart. Press ESC. Now press Q. This will display the INTERRUPT (IRQ) numbers. 25
Baum Tools Technical Support January 8, 2000

The interrupts should correspond to the following chart. Port # Address COM1 03F8H COM2 02F8H COM3 03E8H COM4 02E8H Interrupt IRQ4 IRQ3 IRQ4 IRQ3

Now press ESC and look for the MOUSE on the left of the screen. Press U. This displays the mouse information. If the mouse is a serial mouse there may be a conflict with the serial ports. Press ESC and check for network cards under the NETWORK section. If cards are present conflicts may occur with the serial ports. Windows 95 - Choose CONTROL PANEL from the MY COMPUTER icon. Next choose SYSTEM. Choose the DEVICE MANAGER tab. Go down the list to PORTS (COM & LPT). Double click on the PORTS icon, then double click on the first Communications Port displayed. This should be COM1. Then click on the RESOURCES tab. The interrupt Request and Input Output Range should correspond to the chart above. Check the CONFLICTING DEVICE LIST at the bottom of the screen. It should report NO CONFLICTS. Repeat for all Communications Ports. Check for other devices such as MODEMS and NETWORK cards which may conflict with the serial ports. Communication error messages returned by Windows 8006 - No COM port of this number is installed in the computer 8010 - Two devices are competing for the same COM port IRQ (interrupt request). 8013 - Device already open by another device. (Another device is already using this port.) 5) If all the above is satisfied, we next need to check for software conflicts. This can occur when TSR programs loaded at startup "POLE" the serial ports. First check for any programs started by Windows. These generally can be found in the STARTUP program group. Temporarily disable any programs you find. Reboot your computer and attempt a diagnosis as in step 2. 6) Next check the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for TSRs which may conflict. These can be anti-virus software, fax/modem fax software, DOS mouse drivers and network drivers. If you are unsure of what these files consist of please email or fax me copies at 415-566-0694 USA for analysis. 7) Runtime Error 5" can be caused by corrupted DLL files, faulty disk drives or display drivers lower than 800x600 resolution. Most often resetting of the display to 800x600 resolution or higher solves this problem. 8) To see if any communications is occurring, start the program. For VDS-Pro click once on the word SELECT in the opening screen. You will see no change at this time. Next click on ENGINE to attempt communication. Two boxes should appear at the top of the next screen marked TRANSMIT and RECEIVE.

The program should send a string of zeros to the cars computer. This can be seen in the TRANSMIT box. The RECEIVE box should go blank then show the hexidecimal (base 16) output from the car. If the communications fails, email the information strings found in the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE boxes to tech@baumtools.com for analysis. 9) No characters received from interface. This usually indicates that the vehicle is not OBD-II compliant.
